Days after requiring users to log in to view tweets on the web, Twitter has silently removed these restrictions.

No, they didn’t. I still cannot view twitter without an account.

I don’t understand how these articles keep misleading people on this. You can now view shared links. You cannot browse without logging in.
Seems like you can look at individual tweets, but that’s it. You can’t even see replies.

Basically they didn’t want to keep getting killed by the Google search index

I’m also unable to see comments. They are very good at killing twitter. @ThatOneKirbyMain2568

Yeah probably the traffic took a nose dive they figured they have to backtrack. Better get a little rather than nothing.

I wonder how much blocking anon views upped the bounce rate.

Elon knew that Threads was gaining a lot so he made a decision to do this.

The real reason that this is done, is to avoid users to index and scrape the website. Allowing to workaround the api rate limits. Twitter is ded.

I still can’t do it.

@Very_Bad_Janet I’m still unable to see twitter replies / comments.
I was just able to read a tweet from May 2023. I wasn’t able to read replies. I don’t have an account. So maybe this is working inconsistently?
